didn’t think I needed to say this but epipens do not contain beta blockers and this home brew “allergy kit” is not a substitute for an actual epipen

Post that says: AN EMT taught me a secret many years ago.
An epipen is medicine that includes both types of beta blockers designed for rapid release.
You can make your own allergy kit at home.
Take Benadryl, and Pepcid AC with a glass of water that has had a small amount of Epson salt dissolved.
This cocktail works just as well as an epipen and costs almost nothing.

Here's the official announcement of Parton's passing from her reps, along with the request that in lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com

NASHVILLE, TN (August 25, 2026) – Global icon and humanitarian, Dolly Parton, known to the world as a beloved singer, songwriter, philanthropist, actress, playwright, and author died peacefully today in Nashville, Tennessee. She was 80 years old.

Dolly is preceded in death by her beloved husband of 59 years Carl Thomas Dean (1942 – 2025), her mother Avie Lee Caroline Owens (1923 – 2003), and father, Robert Lee Parton, Sr. (1921 – 2000).

A rhinestone life that shone bright enough for the world to see, Dolly will forever stand as an inspiration not only through her timeless music and prolific songwriting, but also her wit, warmth, and kindness that made us all feel like family. Dolly Parton’s legacy is one of love, compassion, and resilience. With a seven-decade career, she inspired multiple generations of artists and fans with her music and an unwavering commitment to making the world a better place. Her songs will continue to resonate with people of all ages, and her philanthropic work will have a lasting impact.

At Dolly’s request, a small, private service will be held for immediate family. Dolly’s fans and friends from around the world are encouraged to pay tribute to Dolly on social media by tagging @DollyParton or by leaving a message at www.dollyparton.com.

In lieu of flowers the family asks for donations to be made to Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library at www.imaginationlibrary.com.

With all due respect to how disgusting and perverse the news itself reliably is, there's something especially bracing and weird about how every stupid story out of the Trump administration reveals what the dipshit weirdos in these high offices are thinking about and doing instead of those jobs.

Heartbreaking hearing that the woman who Platner raped was hesitant to come forward because she agreed with his politics and didn’t want to damage the movement. If you didn’t already realize, this sort of thing happens a lot you just don’t usually hear about it

Platner is a classic example of a white person coming out of nowhere having zero history of meaningful community work or activism and somehow being given a platform to convince people he's the next great white hope. Who the fuck was this guy before the election cycle? Who are his people?

Platner is a product of white people who are desperate for addressing classism but refuse to acknowledge that misogyny, transphobia, homophobia and racism are components of classism that need to be exorcised for the socialism they want. They want reprieve with no deconstruction of their bigotry.

In addition to being illegal and immoral, this is also how you get increasingly radicalized and disruptive protests. If an entirely legitimate and peaceful protest gets punished anyway, no reason not to go further.
